The 13 runs batted in topped the 12 knocked in by the BIsons in two games this season, March 1 against Belmont and April 1 against Middle Tennessee State.

The 17 hits by the Bisons were one short of the 18 against Stetson April 6.

Designated hitter Justin Sanders drove in five runs with a double and a home run. That ties Jared Picchiottino who had five RBI against Middle Tennessee April 1.

Catcher Caleb Joseph scored four runs, a new season high for one game this season.

TOURNAMENT HISTORY: This is the second season in a row the Bisons have qualified for the six-team tournament. Last season they lost 4-3 in game one to Stetson and 4-1 in the second game to Gardner-Webb.

Before the Bisons beat Campbell they were the only current A-Sun team qualified for the tournament that had not won a tournament game.

The Bisons are the second school in 13 years to improve from the No. 6 to the No. 1 seed in one year. The last team to accomplish that feat was former A-Sun member Florida Atlantic in 1999.
